Jennie was very excited and proud of her friend. After Loraine’s explanation, she was the first to propose loudly, “Lorrie, | will support you. When your business district is built, I'LL be the first to settle in and open a jewelry store there. What do you think?” “Of course, you'll always be welcome,” Loraine said with a smile.
Following Jennie’s lead, the other people in attendance also pledged to invest in the project and the party became very lively again.
Meanwhile, Jimmie, who was seated in a secluded corner, quickly brought out his phone and took a photo of Loraine surrounded by so many people, sending it to Marco.

He was counting down. “Three, two...” Before he could count to one, Marco called him.
It was just as Jimmie expected.
After keeping him waiting for some time just for fun, Jimmie answered the phone. “So, what do you think? Are you coming?” “Keep an eye on Loraine for me. Ill be there soon,” Marco said and hung up immediately.
Though Jimmie found it funny, for the sake of his friend, he got up and squeezed into the crowd to go greet Loraine with a smile.
“Loraine, | hope you won't mind if | open a law firm in your new business district, or will you?” Loraine rolled her eyes.
“I'll advise you to save your money and support Bryant Group's CBD plan. After all, you and Marco are good friends, aren't you?” Jimmie had nothing to say in response. He touched his nose awkwardly and wondered how Loraine found out about Marco's business plan.
While he was still thinking, he caught sight of Jennie among the crowd and Light suddenly dawned on him. He promptly marched up to her and pulled her aside.
